• Part of new concept Chronos suite: unfinished product.

  manoppelloJanuary 27, 2006

  Pros

  This product has a lot of potential but it appears to be less than 50% complete. Rather than 5.0.4; in reality it should be 054. The architecture of the SOHO suite is completely different from past products under the hood and in terms of the UI. The promise is clear: seamless integration with Apple's sync services, the Addressbook and iCal. Extensions of Apple's concept of multiple business applications linked to Addressbook... but not iCal. Chronos goal is to extend the number PIM apps that starts with Addressbook and iCal adding the StickBrain notes capability, business cards, letters and envelopes along wth templates for superior business output products, as well as better calendars, synching, and a professional relational data base as back-end storage.

  Cons

  The problem it isn't done. There are sync'ing issues (sync services is a somewhat new service from Apple), dataabase integrity and table design issues affecting Calendars, StickBrain notes, and Contacts. The GUI for Calendars is incomplete, almost non-existent when compared with previous products. The hardcopy presentation is incomplete. It is a large undertaking, ambitioius, great promise. However, after over a year in the offing it is for the most part incomplete. As many have already stated: not yet. Fun to play with and watch it evolve, but it should not be relied on as a replacement for previous products already shipped by this company. Or as a work horse PIM used day-in and day-out.
